I think I did a control+c to cancel it sometime in the middle. Next day, I did {{{ $ sudo port install mplayer }}} again. m4 is a dependency of mplayer. With the first one, the m4 install was interrupted. Now, however, you can see from the gist that it was saying {{{ :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.fetch (m4) }}} then attempting to build from: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_m4/work/m4-1.4.16 {{{ $ ls /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_m4/work/ .CC_PRINT_OPTIONS .macports.m4.state m4-1.4.15/ }}} So basically it appears to be skipping the fetch phase because 1.4.15 had already been fetched (and unpacked), then trying to go ahead and build 1.4.16, which of course fails. Less than ideal, wouldn't you agree? 10.6.7, xcode 3.2.6 Thanks. -r" defect closed Normal MacPorts 2.1.3 base 1.9.2 fixed ryandesign nerdling drkp nonstop.server@… cooljeanius
